Inside “Cleveland’s Clothing Establishment,” President Cleveland and Thomas F. Bayard are fitting a man labeled “Reform Democracy” with the “Thos. Jefferson Pattern,” while cabinet members Lucius Q. C. Lamar, William C. Whitney, Daniel Manning, [and] Augustus H. Garland measure, cut, and sew fabric labeled “Justice, Anti-Silver Swindle, New Navy, [and] Honest Administration, Interior Department” on the left side of the shop. A sign on the wall states “No Over-Charging nor Double-Dealing” and a poster shows the “Spring 1885 Styles.” Just outside the door is an old man reaching in to grab discarded rags labeled “Spoils System, Old Record, Fraud” and a shillelagh labeled “Rowdy Influence” to place in his cart labeled “G. O. Rep. Party. Highest Price Paid for Castoff Clo’s.” Caption: The new suit (on the Jeffersonian Pattern) doesn’t quite fit yet; but we hope he will grow up to it.
